Access

The bivouac is located at the foot of the eastern ridge of the Herbetet. From Valnontey, go up the valley (path 22), then at the fork that leads to the other bivouacs at the valley bottom, turn right onto path 22G, which also leads to the Casolari Herbetet (PNGP hut of the Park). At the hut, leave the path that continues along a balcony to [->6381], and follow the 22G trail that heads west and climbs a moraine via a series of switchbacks. The path continues due west toward Coll Herbetet, after crossing several water flows (you can refill here). The path then makes a turn toward the south/southeast to reach the bivouac after crossing an area of slabs and boulders. Follow the yellow markings and cairns closely, as the path is not marked in this rocky area and the bivouac is only visible at the last moment.
